OIL-BURNER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed October 12, 1914. Serial No. 866,358.

a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to oil burners, and one of the principal objects of the invention is to provide an economical and eflicient device for burning kerosene, gasolene, naphtha or crude oil, and which shall be simple in construction and inexpensive to manufacture.

Another object of the invention is to provide a burner of the Bunsen type which will develop an intense heat in a very short time when such fuel as kerosene, gasolene or crude oil is used as a fuel.

These and other objects may be attained by means of the construction illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which,

Figure 1 is a side elevation view of an oil burner made in accordance with this invention. Fig. 2 is a horizontal sectional View taken on the line 22of Fig. 1 looking in the direction indicated by the arrows. Fig. 3 is an end view of the burner. Fig. 4 is a detail sectional view taken on the line H of Fig. 2.

Referring to the drawings, the numerals 1 and 2 designate the supporting plate, which are preferably of rectangular form and provided with apertures through which the pipes extend for supporting the burner in a stove or heater. A fuel inlet pipe 3 extends through the supporting plate 1 at one side of the top thereof, and continues through the plate 2. On the outer side of the plate 2, the pipe 3 is provided with an elbow 4 connected to a short transverse pipe 5, also provided with an elbow to which is connected a pipe 6 extending through the plates 2 and 1 where it is provided with an elbow 7 which is connected by a vertical pipe 8 to a similar elbow 9. Connected to the elbow 9 is a pipe 10 which extends through the plates 1 and 2, and is provided with an elbow 11 having a short pipe 12 connected thereto. An'elbow 13 is connected to the pipe 12 on the outer side of the plate 2 and the pipe 14: is connected to the elbow 13 and extends across through the plate 1 where it 1s providedfwith an elbow 15 having a short outlet pipe 16 connected thereto. The pipe 18 is provided with a threaded cap 17 and a et opening 18 in one side thereof.

The burner comprises a comparatively large burner tube 19 having a series of jet openings 20 therein, and supported between the plates 1 and 2 by means of a cap 21 threaded thereon and supported by the plate 2. and supported at its opposite end in a Patented'J 1115 20, 1915.

similar cap 22 threaded on the endof the burner tube 19, said cap 22 having a central aperture therein alinement with a similar aperture in the plate 1, and extending through said apertures is a mixing pipe for air and gas. This pipe 23 extends some distance within the burner tube 19, and is prov1 de d with an open discharge end 2 1. The mixing pipe 23 extends some distance outward beyond supporting plate 1, and is pro vided with an open intake end" 25 in direct alinement with the jet opening 18 in the pipe 16. The mixer pipe 23 is provided with elongated openings 26 in the opposite sides thereof as shown more clearly in Fig. 1.

From the foregoing it will be obvious that the burner tube 19 being disposed between the feed pipes for the fuel, gas is continuously generated, and when discharged throughthe jet opening 18 into the air and gas mixing pipe 23, an intense heat can be developedby igniting the jet openings 20 which produces a blue flame.

The construction of the entire device is simple, belng made almost wholly of gas pipes and elbows, cannot readily get out of order, is easily cleaned, can be repaired w1thout special tubes, is very efficient for its purpose and can be manufactured at very slight cost.

Various changes may be made in the details of construction without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the claims.

'VVhat is claimed is 1. An oil'burner comprising a pair of supporting plates, an inlet pipe supported in said plates, a plurality of pipes extending back and forth through said plates and connected to the inlet pipe, one end being an outlet,'an outlet pipe having a jet opening secured to the outlet end of the pipe, a perforated burner pipe or tube centrally disposed between the two'plates, and a mixing tube inserted in said burner tube through one of said plates, its outer end provided with elongated air openings.

2. An oil burner comprising a pair of supporting plates, one of said plates having a central opening therein, a pair of sleeves secured to the inner faces of said plates, one of said sleeves having an opening to be in alinement With the opening of one supporting plate, a perforated oil burning tube supported by the sleeves, a mixing tube extending into said burner tube and to a portion intermediate the openings thereof, the outer end of the mixing tube having air openings adjacent its outer end, an inlet pipe extending through one supporting plate, a plurality of pipes connected to its end and extending back and forth through the supporting plates, an outlet connection connected to the other end of said pipes, and a jet opening in said outlet connection said jet opening being in alinement with the outer end of the mixing tube.

3. An oil burner comprising a pair of supporting plates, one of said supporting plates having a central opening therein, sleeves mounted on the inner faces of said supporting plate, one of said sleeves provided With an opening to correspond With the opening in the supporting plate, a perforated burner tube supported by said sleeves, a mixing tube inserted in the burner tube its outer end having a pair of elongated air openings adjacent its end, and pipes forming a continuous conduit extending through said plate and supported thereby, one end of said conduit being used as the inlet its opposite end having an upwardly extending outlet connection thereon, said outlet connection having a jet opening on one side thereof,

the jet opening of the outlet connection be- 1 ing in direct alinement With the opening in the outer end of the mixing tube.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
